4 weeks post op arm liposuction and have no result. Is this normal?

Thank you for submitting your questions and photo. I am sorry to hear you have a seroma after your procedure.  Your only 4 weeks after surgery.  Swelling
after liposuction will last for many weeks after surgery. 80% of
your final result will be seen in more like 3 months. Final
results take 6-12 months. Continue to use your contour garment, minimize
activities, and lymphatic massage help with the swelling. Continue close follow up and concerns
with your Plastic surgeon.

Lyzzamae,If you have a recurring seroma, it will interfere with your results at this point. The seroma needs to be evaluated and treated by your plastic surgeon. Seromas happen all the time so there is no reason to feel depressed. It can be managed and you should still expect to see some positive results after it resolves. Time heals all wounds. Make sure to follow up closely with your plastic surgeon.I hope this was helpful,Dr. Daniel BarrettPlastic and Reconstructive SurgeryBeverly Hills, CA

Results can take 3-6 months to show.  My suggestion is to give it time and start exercising.  However, with that said, most of my patients see the results immediately and are very extactic by this point.  I wish you the best, Dr. Emer.
